President’s Report
AB 86 Planning and Update
President Beebe distributed copies of AB86 Certificate of Eligibility and Supporting Documents and gave a
summary of each document that will be submitted to the State: Certificate of Eligibility, Intent-to-Participate
Signature Form, and Project Management Plan Narrative and Preliminary Budget Summary. President Beebe
also reported that the process is simplified and non-competitive. Each consortium that applies for the grant
and submits the four documents will be funded. He, Academic Senate President Timothy Pawlak, Consultant
Rudy Kastelic (lead person), and Adult Education Manager Marc Gottuso have been meeting weekly to
assemble the documents and write the Narrative. The planning to plan for the consortium will include faculty,
classified and administration from the district and the San Diego Unified School District.
Management Nomination of Classified Employee of the Year
Every year the State of California requests the community college districts to nominate a classified employee
who demonstrates the highest level of commitment to professionalism and to the community college. This
nomination is endorsed and submitted to the State through the local Board of Trustees. Because SDCCD is a
multi-college district, it was determined by Chancellor’s Cabinet that the honor would rotate annually among
City College, Mesa College, Miramar College and Continuing Education. This year it is Continuing
Education’s turn to submit a nomination. After discussing with the different constituencies, President Beebe is
bringing forward Patti Buse as Continuing Education’s nomination selection and requested input from the
Council. After a brief discussion the Council approved the selection of Patti Buse as Continuing Education’s
nominee.

Academic Senate Report
Ingrid Greenberg the following:
She attended the ACCE Conference the previous week, where AB 86 was a topic of discussion. Some districts
are hiring project managers for the grant and there was consensus among the attendees that this would be
beneficial. Also there was further discussion with DOE consultant on broadening participation among faculty,
classified staff and students. More information regarding participation and input is available on the
stakeholder’s sounding board and she also volunteered a classified representative for the consultant to contact
to discuss participation. And finally CDCP rates were also an important topic at the conference.
Classified Senate Report
Neill Kovrig reported the following:
The Classified Senate met on February 3rd, and topics of discussion were: fundraising, the classified priority
hiring list, Classified Leadership Institute, elections, first reading of Resolution 2014-01 (regarding SB 850,
Community College Baccalaureate Degree), sponsorship of the Spelling Bee (will contribute $333 towards

Enrollment Report
Vice President Ellison presented data on CDCP/Regular FTES.
Summer Planning
Vice President Ellison distributed a memo regarding the 2014 summer session reflecting program specific
meeting dates.
Restoring Friday Operations
President Beebe reported Friday operations was a topic of discussion at Chancellor’s Cabinet and Chancellor
Carroll would like to see operations restored on Fridays, so SDCCD is a five days a week district. All four
institutions are looking to do this. Continuing Education will restore Friday operations beginning with the
summer session. Different scheduling options for classified staff will be reviewed. A preliminary discussion
was held with the Office Managers. Returning to Friday operations will not eliminate the 4/10 schedule
completely. It was noted that flexibility is the key. A survey will be sent out to classified staff requesting their
input to assist with planning. The goal is to have coverage on Fridays and not cause any dissention. More
information and discussion on this topic will be forthcoming.
